Spent last weekend installing my Bostig conversion in my Westy...
www.bostig.com
How Sweet it Is...That little hummer just purrrs..Quiet..Smooth...Gutsy. Can
you see me smilin'...
A total piece of cake to do it all..The Bostig kit is so complete that most
any rookie can do it without any special tools or knowledge. The Boys from
Boston are constantly tweaking and improving as they go. Talking guys
through their issues gives them feedback so they can improve the
process...And it works...(can you tell I am a fan??)
Video step by step instructions and Brady or Jim are always on the other end
of the phone line.

1st test drive...drove just like my WBXer...hmmm..Oh yeah, I only had half
throttle..Adjust cable...
2nd drive..Holiest Cow..Mo' Power and the little Ferd motor loves to wind
up. Don't notice the revs and it seems natural after a short while to not
have to worry about revving it up. Did I say smooth??? Did I say quiet???
Like any modern DOHC eng, they get their peak power at higher RPM, and it
pulls great over 3K but will also accel in 4th from 30MPH without
complaining..
Can't wait till I get the Turbo to stick on it ( in Oct hopefully...)
Stock trans gearing is perfect as it is. So no regearing needed.
Runs like the 2.2 Subies I have driven only I believe its a MUCH easier job
to convert with the Bostig kit.There are many low mile motors available
too..Mine has 30K on it and many have found 10 or 15K engines..
I have the original 195/14's on it and they work well.
Fits under the deck lid (barely) Plenty of room on the sides and front. A
bit tight at the rear, but the Lic plate access makes it tolerable.
Comes with a scan tool to program and check data from the brain box or to
send the datalogs to Jim for review (hardest part for me)
Got to finish some detail work and tidy things up a bit, but after somewhere
around 20 to 25 hrs of actual work..she's a happy camper...Me too..Gotta
love the choices we have for our babies...
